ART GALLERY – THE MAIDEN : 2027 1000 francs Republic of Cameroon 31.1g silver coin

The Maiden by Gustav Klimt reveals a different side of the artist beyond the golden surface of The Kiss. Painted in 1913, it belongs to Klimt’s late period, where saturated color, spirals, and floral ornament replace gold as the language of desire and transformation.

At the center, a sleeping maiden is surrounded by six interwoven female figures, forming an allegory of womanhood, youth, beauty, and ephemerality. The composition moves in a circular rhythm: bodies and textiles merge until figure and pattern become almost inseparable. Preserved today in the National Gallery Prague, the painting stands as a vivid late-Klimt vision of the stages of a woman’s life.

Struck in 1 oz of .999 fine silver with proof quality, the coin recreates this masterpiece through high-dimension digital printing. Housed in an elegant acrylic display box and limited to 1000 pieces, it completes the MINT XXI Art Gallery series, a silver journey through timeless art.
